Steps:
- Rinse the trout under cold running water (or in the beautiful mountain lake/stream you caught them in).
- Pat dry.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper (I take a zip lock baggie in my pack with salt/pepper/garlic powder mixed together).
- Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet on medium-high heat.
- Coat the trout in corn meal and shake off the excess.
- When the butter is melted, place the coated trout, flesh side down, in the skillet.
- Fry 4-5 minutes, then turn and fry 4-5 minutes or until the flesh is golden brown and flaky. (Trout may be seasoned with garlic or onion powder before frying if desired, I also take a lemon with me to squeeze over the top).

Steps:
- On a cutting board, pat the trout dry with paper towels, making sure to get inside the cavity.
- 2, Generously season the fish with salt and pepper on all sides, including the cavity.
- Stuff the lemon slices, scallions, ginger, and cilantro in the cavity of each fish.
- Slip 2 pieces of kitchen twine under each trout and tie to secure the filling inside.
- Brush both sides of the fish generously with olive oil.
- Preheat the grill to 350˚F (180˚C).
- Dip a paper towel in olive oil and generously rub over the grates of the grill. Place the trout over indirect heat and close the lid. Grill for 6 minutes. Carefully flip the fish over and continue grilling with the lid closed for 6 minutes, until cooked through.
- Cut the twine off the fish. To remove the bones, take the filling out of the cavity and gently nudge the fish apart. The bones will begin to separate from the flesh. Run your fingers along the bones to loosen, then lift the tail straight up to remove the bones and head, leaving the clean fillets behind.
- Enjoy!

PANFRIED TROUT WITH LEMON
You'll only taste wild trout if you catch them yourself-all others are farm raised. Wherever you get it, trout that you panfry with lemon will be a delicious dinner to serve your guests, fishermen or not.

Steps:
- Rinse trout, and pat dry. Combine 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and flour on a plate. Season insides of fish with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Insert 3 slices of lemon inside each fish, and dredge in flour; shake off excess.
- Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil in an 11-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 trout, arrange 4 or 5 lemon slices around fish, and cook until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. If lemon slices begin to burn, put them on top of fish. Turn fish, and cook until it has a golden crust and is flaky and moist, about 5 to 6 minutes more.
- Remove fish from skillet, and keep warm wrapped in foil. Repeat twice with remaining trout, butter, oils, and lemon slices. Serve fish with some of the cooked lemon slices.
Tips:
- Select the freshest trout possible: Look for fish with bright, clear eyes, red gills, and a firm, springy body.
- Clean and gut the trout before cooking: Remove the scales, fins, and entrails. Rinse the fish thoroughly inside and out.
- Season the trout liberally with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices: This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Use a high-quality olive oil to cook the trout: This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the air fryer basket.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before cooking the trout: This will help to ensure that the fish cooks evenly.
- Cook the trout for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the trout.
- Serve the trout immediately with your favorite sides: Lemon wedges, tartar sauce, and roasted vegetables are all great options.
